One key to fighting depression is exersize. Another is eating a balanced diet. Pills might provide some with short-term benefits, but in the long run it’s not the best answer.
Wow, I must be one of the “severely depressed” on whom the pills actually work. I was diagnosed way back in ‘93 and have been on and off Zoloft, which didn’t do much except make me manic and lose hair. I never wanted to admit or accept I had some new-fangled hip and trendy syndrome, and always thumbed my nose at the idea of lining pharmacutical companies’ pockets, however the more I tried to fight it the worse things became. I’m on Prozac now and can honestly say it is working. I was severely debilitated and suicidal and was worried about the 2 weeks it takes for the pills to kick in, but they have really improved things for me. Yes, I worry about psychological addiction, but my doc over here in England has told me that I have a “disorder” and may need to be on the pills for a while. He’s tried to arrange for counselling as well but there is a huge waiting list. I’m coming back to the States for a few months soon and plan to stock up on pills before I head back. Yes, I pay for them on the NHS, but they’re discounted. So...
